I will respectfully disagree. It's the generals who might restrain him. They know engaging North Korea in military action is a sure way to lose big time -- it would piss off the Chinese (who do have an effective military, including nukes that are a heck of lot more effective than anything North Korea pretends to have) and cause a land war in Asia. Trump is channeling Reagan and looking for a tidy little war (think Grenada) but is too dumb to find one. Although the fact that now he's begun talking about military action in Venezuela is a good sign -- his advisors may have convinced him it would be safer to follow the U.S. tradition of screwing over Latin American countries than it is to continue in a verbal pissing contest with North Korea. Trump has the attention span and reasoning ability of a gnat so he's got to be getting bored with all the Korea talk and is ready for the next shiny object to cross his path.

To me China is as dangerous as Russia. China actively supported North Korea during the Korean war and North Vietnam during the Vietnamese war - not only arms and equipment; but military advisers and combat units. China is not our friend.

My mother was one of the first women assigned to a combat zone - she was on a Navy hospital ship sent to Pearl Harbor and my step father was Coast Guard and in Pearl Harbor during the bombing. They were military and fair game - it was their choice. But, Nagasaki and Hiroshima were a crime against humanity.O'B
